I saw someone selling this exact bike in bulk for $150 each

I don’t think that’s possible

Go watch a video on how these bikes are made. Giant factories in china that used to manufacture motorcycles transitioned to making e bikes because the profit margins on them are ridiculous since they can pump out cheaply made bikes in high volume then sell them to kids in the states.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I’m not looking it up, it’s your responsibility to provide the source of your claims.
Regardless, I’ve gotten 120mi of exercise I otherwise wouldn’t have gotten had I not bought this.

None of those are this exact bike. The front fender is way too short at the top. The headlight isn’t the same. This is a random assortment of bikes.

Bro okay you miss the point. You bought a cheap Chinese bike just like these but alright. Keep getting defensive little man

Last comment on this- I didn’t buy this thinking I’m set for the rest of my life, this works for me, for now.
OMGitsEntropy@reddit (OP)
Yeah no way lmao

It gets better. 2 years on my bike and it definitely took a few weeks/months.. stretch and stand up every now and then to readjust helps
darkthewyvern@reddit
The hell is that and how much did you pay
OMGitsEntropy@reddit (OP)
$700 after taxes/shipping
darkthewyvern@reddit
Fair! I would have saved more, but I do use these as every day transportation
OMGitsEntropy@reddit (OP)
Not to be a pretentious douche - the money isn’t the issue, it’s my motivation.
darkthewyvern@reddit
Fair! But I always tell people, some of the absolute best ones aren’t even 3k$ for something that’s car replacement worthy
OMGitsEntropy@reddit (OP)
And that’s fair, but my workplace is 10 minutes away when I ride this. And it’s solely for work, and a way to test if I’d like to expand my transportation abilities in the future.

I’ve been riding a Segway g3 max for a while. It’s safe and practical but, kinda uninspiring and the range is limiting for me
OMGitsEntropy@reddit (OP)
Right I get that. I’m not currently trying to go on long hauls with great range - 10 mins down the road for work. I told myself I’ll give myself a year doing it this way and for future endeavors I’m happy to spend more money as long as I like it and will use it the ways I intend, and this one is doing that for me at the moment.
darkthewyvern@reddit
Short term in between like my Segway, gotcha! But now im addicted lol
OMGitsEntropy@reddit (OP)
Right, exactly. It’s my testing phase. I didn’t wanna spend a ton of money for something that I’d either just sell or sit in storage. And this one is perfect for what I’m currently looking for.
Sophiacuity@reddit
Did you get the Pro version?
OMGitsEntropy@reddit (OP)
Nah just went with normal f6 to be sure I even would use/like it. Will be upgrading in the future tbh.
castrodelavaga79@reddit
Idk how you can deal with that seat. That style kills me even just riding for a few minutes.
OMGitsEntropy@reddit (OP)
I used to ride a giant branded mountain bike and honestly this is so much more comfortable
